FAQs

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the sole, typically in the heel, to absorb shock during impact and provide enhanced comfort.

What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe that provides enhanced stability, rigidity, and prevents the shoe from twisting excessively during motion.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

The GEL-1130 trainers were originally designed as stable running shoes and are suitable for light to moderate running, daily jogs, and gym workouts. For competitive or long-distance running, more specialized ASICS models might be preferred.

How do ASICS GEL-1130 trainers typically fit?

ASICS shoes generally run true to size. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering individual foot shape. This specific model is a UK size 4.5.

What materials are used in the construction?

The ASICS GEL-1130 features synthetic leather overlays for durability and structure, combined with breathable mesh underlays for ventilation. The sole incorporates rubber for grip and the GEL technology for cushioning.

How should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?

Spot clean with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.

Are these trainers considered environmentally friendly?

The insole of the ASICS GEL-1130 is manufactured using a solution dyeing method, which significantly reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions during its production, aligning with sustainable practices.

What kind of aesthetic do these trainers have?

The GEL-1130 trainers have a distinctive late 2000s retro aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the iconic GEL-KAYANO 14. They offer a blend of athletic heritage and modern street style.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time.

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a break-in period. You might also consider trying different socks or custom insoles if discomfort persists.

The trainers feel less stable than expected.

Check that the laces are securely and evenly tied. The TRUSSTIC system provides inherent stability, but improper lacing can affect fit. If the sole appears worn, consider replacement.

The trainers are starting to smell bad.

Ensure you air out your shoes properly after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to let them dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

There are scuff marks or dirt on the synthetic leather.

Gently wipe the scuff marks with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For persistent dirt, a soft brush can be used, then wipe clean and air dry.

The mesh areas look dirty or discolored.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth, being careful not to soak the shoe, and then air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers require minimal setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are suitable for a variety of activities, including light running, walking, gym workouts, and general casual wear. They pair well with most athletic and casual apparel. Ensure you select the correct UK shoe size (e.g., UK 4.5) for optimal comfort and performance.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to clean the synthetic leather overlays and mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  3. Odor Control: To prevent odors, allow the shoes to air out after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
  5. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can compromise their structure and cushioning.
